beating food addiction

Carbs actually do give you energy

Stairs are not really that hard to walk on

Going to sleep can be easy

Being hungry is the worst feeling in the world

Shin-splints don’t happen easily

Your weight on a scale is literally just the amount of gravity pulling down on you

A scale is a valuable tool in Physics class

Your body is meant for living, not for staring

Everybody’s body is different, so there’s no point in comparing yourself to others

Working out is fun, it’s not meant to be a chore

Running gives you a high, it doesn’t burn calories

Having dessert after every meal is a blessing

Coffee doesn’t really taste that good without cream and sugar

It’s nice to be able to eat the biggest piece of your birthday cake

A calorie is a unit of energy

Calories don’t count in more things than you can imagine

Nothing is better than ice cream on a hot day

Popcorn at the movies is a must

When you’re sad, make sure you eat an entire pint of Ben & Jerry’s or a tub of peanut butter… whichever works

Let your grandmother stuff you with her homemade meals

The words “fat” and “skinny” should be in no one’s vocabulary

You’re allowed to splurge and not feel guilty about it

Food brings people together

Thanksgiving is the day to go all-out, not to restrict

Your mind should probably think about food less than 5% of each day

When you get older, your clothes are meant to get tighter

No one fits into their jeans from 10 years ago

Trying foods from different countries is a great way of getting in touch with the culture

No one can look like celebrities because no one can afford their training plans

Cellulite is normal fat under your skin and everybody has it

You need food to be able to stay up and study

After-drinking munchies are the bomb

Denny’s or iHop at 2 a.m. is always the move

Having a meal with friends is actually enjoyable, not anxiety-provoking

Food doesn’t have to be on your mind 24/7

It’s crucial to talk about your feelings

It’s important to love yourself regardless of anything

Life is so much more beautiful without the weight of your thoughts constantly pulling you down

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
